David Savocka got his stack of 475,000 in from the small blind against Lishai Heshbon in the big blind.

David Savocka: J♣9♣ All in
Lishai Heshbon: A♣Q♦

Heshbon already congratulated his opponent when the latter paired up on the 10♥8♥9♠ flop, and he was right to do so as the 4♥7♣ runout gave Savocka a straight to double up.

Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With around 200,000 in the pot on a flop of A♣K♠Q♠, Renato Ardelean bet 110,000 from middle positon and Manoe Betrix called on the button.

The turn was the 10♠ and Ardelean bet another 110,000. Betrix then raised to 500,000 and Ardelean tanked for a few minutes before moving all in for 505,000. Betrix put in the extra chip to call.

Ardelean showed Q♥Q♣ for a set, but Betrix had A♥J♥ for a straight and held on through the 9♥ river to earn the pot and send Ardelean to the rail.

Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Philipp Woerndl jammed all in for 205,000 under the gun and was called by Carlos Fernandes in middle position. The remaining players folded before the pair showed down.

Philipp Woerndl: K♠7♠ All in
Carlos Fernandes: A♥10♥

The 6♥9♥6♣ flop brought Fernandes a flush draw, and he locked up the pot when a third heart arrived on the Q♥ turn.

The 9♠ river was rendered meaningless, seeing Woerndl say his goodbyes just after the dinner break.

Oezkacar's Hopes Dashed as Potenza Claims Victory

Sava Krink

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Yusuf Oezkacar first attempted to double up with his remaining 105,000 chips, but he found himself in a tough spot against Irakli Kajaia. Both players held a straight on the board showing J♥K♠10♣5♣9♦, resulting in a split pot that did little to improve Oezkacar's situation.

In the very next hand, Dominique Potenza took the lead by raising to 60,000. Oezkacar, now in the big blind, saw his chance and shoved all in, prompting an immediate call from Potenza.

Yusuf Oezkacar: J♦8♦ All in
Dominique Potenza: 4♣4♠

As the flop revealed 9♥9♠10♣, Oezkacar gained significant hope, as he now had a straight draw and needed just one card to complete it for a potential double-up. The turn brought the K♥, further expanding his outs and giving him additional chances to win the hand and stay in the tournament.

However, when the river revealed the 5♦, it dashed Oezkacar's hopes, sealing his fate and sending him to the rail. With this elimination, Potenza solidified his position at the table while Oezkacar's tournament run came to an unfortunate end.
